Chun first. She’s a good battery.
No clue about Dirt nap setups. Check the X-23 board.
Ammy should anchor (cold star assist to help the others pressure)
Hello just started playing UMVC3, new to the forums but I would like some critique on my build.
Zero(ryuenjin)/Dr. Doom (hiddenmissle)/ Akuma(tatsumaki zankukyaku)
Thanks
Positives: Seems like a good team. Using Hidden Missiles as a mix-up assist with Zero and Tatsu to help maintain the pressure. Good DHC synergy between Zero and Doom. Akuma is a good anchor that gets better the more meter he has. Zero and Doom are not meter reliant at all, so you have a pretty good setup all in all.
Negatives: DHC into Akuma can only be done with Doom in the corner using a Air Photon Array hyper (low in the air) but Zero and Doom generally have problems with effective DHCs anyways. The team is a bit low in the health department, which could be a problem depending on your level of play.
Sentinel helps with Cap’s cartwheel shenanigans. Sentinel has bad match-ups but is a very underrated anchor. His assist is also gdlk for Zero. Magneto, Amaterasu and Dormammu are also all solid options. I will say that I don’t think Dante is that amazing as an anchor but his assist synergy with Zero is undeniable.
Just started up with umvc3 after watching a lot of vanilla, and I can’t decide on my anchor for the moment I’m running Spencer(?)/Storm(Whirlwind)/Dormammu(Purification). This team doesn’t seem to have any problems right now, but it would be great if I could hear some feedback on some problems I might have in the future.
I’ve been using Felicia/Virgil/Firebrand. How does this sound? What assists should I use?
I’m pretty noob and crappy, so I haven’t a clue. lol
It’s not bad, and they are all very good characters. All of those characters like to have assists behind them, but they are also all very capable as anchors which makes the team resilient to snapbacks. I think that’s a good order for the team too (the other option would be Firebrand/Vergil/Felicia).
As for assists:
Felicia - Rolling Buckler
Vergil - Rapid Slash
Firebrand - Not very important but I would probably go with Demon Missile (H)
Thinking about a Jill [Somersault Kick], Dante [Jam Session], _______ team. Right now, that blank is filled by either Magneto [EM Disruptor], Amaterasu [Cold Star]. or Phoenix [TK Overdrive].
Which of the three is best for the team? Or really, Phoenix or no Phoenix? ~If no Phoenix, is Magneto or Amaterasu better?
Thank you for the help!
Jill works really well with beam assists with her feral crouch dashes so I’d assume Disruptah is the way to go
I wouldn’t suggest Phoenix, unless you focus your efforts on building her up with the rest of the team…
Magneto is still one of the best characters, and his assist works well with Jill,
but can you play as Magneto? He is, again, one of the better characters
but a team has to work together.
Amaterasu is easy to pick up, and her Cold Star assist is highly effective.
She suffers in health, but her Okami Shuffle hits nearly full screen!
Personally I’d use Ammy, but she is one of my favorite characters, so I am biased on that…
That makes a lot of sense. I really love Amaterasu, but Magneto is pretty cool, too. I guess it just depends on whether or not I can pick up Magneto and get him better than Amaterasu then…?
Thanks for the help!
Iron Fist’s OTG assist doesn’t knock them up high at all after a decent Haggar combo. Like, they flip out instantly.
sounds good but personally I’d rock firebrand/Vergil/Felicia. Firebrand offers next to nothing in the way of assists or dhc’s for Vergil and felicia, meanwhile Felicia anchor gives the team the best unblockable setup assist in the game along with lvl 3 xfactor Felicia being broken as all hell.
Edit: also, I’m guessing you can dhc into Vergil swords from firebrand for a healthy damage boost for firebrand’s normally mediocre combos.
What you guys think of Iron Fist/Dante/Strider and X-23/C.Viper/Dr.Doom?
I’ve finally decided to throw out my experimental team of Jill/Hawkeye/Wright. It was fun, and I made some amazing progress with it, but that team was never going to take me to the top.
I think I’ve settled on Nemesis(Clothesline)/Hawkeye(Kamikaze)/X-23(Neck). Any thoughts or advice?
First thought: X-23 should have Ankle Slice IMHO,
Nemesis can use his jumping tentacle to make it an easy unblockable,
and Hawkeye using his air Heavy can do the same.
I don’t think X-23 makes for a very “stable” anchor,
she seems to do best with an assist to cover her
but if you can overcome her weaknesses it should be fine.
Nemesis’s Clothesline Rocket is a decent assist,
but he just stands there as he fires the rocket
so be prepared for the opponent to punish it!
Hawkeye’s Kamakazi can work great with X-23,
just be aware that it actually covers a “small” area.
Those are my thoughts at least…
I was using Firebrand in there with Luminous Body + Swoop assist (comes out really fast) and for Luminous Body + lvl 3 xfactor.
Or should I swap out for another char?
Sounds like hit stun deterioration is ending your combo.
When you’re first starting you’re going to lose. A lot. Like a lot, a lot.
How are you composing your teams? It seems you want to use Wolverine, but how are you going about choosing the other two? Do you know/understand UMvC3 team composition spots like Point Character and Anchor?
As for assists, you need to protect them. The point character (active character you’re using) and the assist have a symbiotic relationship in that they protect each other.
New to Marvel and have a question.
In my team of Iron Fist (Rising Fang)/ Hawkeye (Quick Shot)/ Spencer (Slant Shot), some mentioned that I should switch the order and put Spencer as the middleman. The question is, why? I’ve read that Hawkeye is amazing as a anchor with lvl 3 XF, but so is Spencer. Can anyone give their thoughts and elaborate on why Spencer should be the middleman on my team? And I can some feedback on my potential secondary team of Spidey (Web Ball)/Nova (Centurion Rush)/ Dormammu (Dark Hole)?
